“You can tent, take a beach cabin or cabana over the water. The cabanas 6-9 and 15 seemed the best.” (robg132)

May 13, 2015

“Cabanas 6-8 seemed the best. Avoid cabanas 1-3 near the dock. On land cabins seemed really good too.” (83paigem)

“don't choose the dorm and be specific that you do not want a leaking cabin. People were sleeping with rain ponchos on their beds.” (RaeSikoraS)

“Over the water is the best!! Less bugs and nice and cool....oh and romantic!” (drkstr)

“Get the over the water cabana if you have the money and want a really stunning view. But even camping isn't bad (and is way cheaper), if you bring a big tent. You're still in a stunning location!” (CatT0wn)

“Room tips: If you visit during a rainy season, I would rather stay at a tent in the campgrounds. Otherwise, get in line early after you get off from the boat to choose the cabana you’d like. I would prefer the one furthest on the west side for the sunset views.” (Addictedtococonuts)

“Cabanas over the water are randomly assigned at arrival. Cabanas are all relatively the same with exception to how deep the water is under it. Some closer to toilets and kitchen than others. Some more private.” (tlow2014)

Mar 2, 2014

“Ask about the typical wind direction for the time of year when you plan to come. Over-the-water cabins 1 -10 are generally the best but it the winds are strong and coming from the west-north, then you will find that the beach cabins and other over-the-water cabins 11 - 15 (?) are less breezy. All accommodations require a short walk to get to the showers and toilets.” (NoNameBelize)

“The rooms on the back side of the island (East) are better in a northwest blow, but farther from the restaurant and toilets.” (tekaboat)

“Seriously do the over the water cabana.” (273chrisf)

I travelled to the Island in April 2015 for one week. I was travelling with my partner, who has been to Glovers before, therefore I had a great idea what to expect.
We are outdoor people, so we chose to go to Glovers knowing full well that we may have to camp on the beach.
We booked an over the...

I was skeptical before going to Glover's Atoll Resort. Really. I wanted to go because it seems a very good deal (299 USD per person a week including transportation for a bungalow over the water) but I was scared by some of the reviews: would I be strong enough to live like a Robinson for 1 week?
Guess what? I...

Yes, there are composting toilets and the showers smell like egg. Yes there is a bit of rubbish in the middle of the island. Yes you might get slightly wet if it rains. Which it will.
BUT this really is paradise, and the view from the shower makes up for the smell. On our first day a dolphin sailed past...

There are so many better places to go to in Belize than this caye. You can still pay budget prices and stay in rustic accommodations but get great customer service in Belize. The staff on this island acted as though guests were a huge inconvenience to them - they were never chatty and avoided hanging around guests. Despite making plans...

This is NOT a luxury resort - but you dont pay resort prices either! We stayed for a week in late March 2015 living in one of the "over the water" cabanas. It was amazing! But you have to be prepared for camping. If you are okay with that, I'd say go for sure. I caught bonefish flyfishing right off...

You read a lot of varied reviews about this place but it is an absolute gem. In all the places we've been, there has been nothing out there like this. We stayed in a cabin over the water, for a week & it was amazing. We want to go back again but for two weeks next time.
Some of the...

I loved the rustic feel of this place. Everyone was so nice. Alison was the best dive instructor I could have asked for with open-water certification. She helped me overcome my fears and feel relaxed and able to enjoy the scuba experience!! I would definitely go back for future certifications with her.

This place is great. but you have to know what you are getting into. this is not a fancy resort, it is a campsite and some of the lodging has wood walls. if you are expecting something any fancier than that you should pay 10 times the price and go to one of the other islands. we stayed in cabin...

Amazing location - we saw the best stuff - tons of fish, coral (that was getting healthy), sting/eagle rays and nurse sharks at the reefs we snorkeled to right off shore. The excursions were at depths more for divers (starting at 40-50 feet) but we did see a turtle and the reef wall dropping into the deeper ocean was cool....

We went to Glover's because my sister had been there 20 years ago and raved about it. Firstly, the setting and the reef are wonderful. And it attracts an interesting and adventurous clientele, so there are many, many fascinating people to talk to. You write your fish order on the white board at the bar/restaurant each day and Warren, the...
